"Mitch McConnell Sends Pelosi Shirt Reading 'I Impeached The President And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt' "
"WASHINGTON, D.C.—Mitch McConnell felt bad for Nancy Pelosi after watching her get forced to impeach the president by the radical wing of her party, then impeach him and sit on the articles of impeachment for weeks. So, he decided to cheer her up a bit.
McConnell had his staffers deliver Pelosi a shirt reading "I Impeached The President And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt." Pelosi did not seem to understand the nice gift, pointing her finger sternly and lecturing the McConnell staffer: "Don't mess with me." Though her dentures fell out before she could finish her rant, sadly.
"It's the least I could do," McConnell said, a grin slowly spreading across his face. "I feel bad for the poor girl -- so much work on impeachment for nothing. Everyone needs a little consolation prize, a little affirmation. A participation trophy, you might say."
As an offended Pelosi held a press conference condemning the shirt as a "slap in the face," Mitch McConnell hurriedly confirmed hundreds more conservative judges."

That reads like republican incel fantasy porn.
I would have liked to see them find a place for Amash (sp?) as part of the House Managers team.
Would have been a fantastic choice but unfortunately politics would likely interfere with handing a high profile role to an independent who will turn competitor after this. It would have been valuable from an appearance perspective though.
They were always going to call witnesses. It is too big a political opportunity to waste by simply dismissing the charges.
Them calling witnesses is the worst possible outcome for the Democrats because the gop will control the process and thereby will control the narrative. The Democrats should have prayed hard for a dismissal early because they could have campaigned on a cover up.
This is a disaster for them

Why is weak little Donald begging the senate to dismiss without calling additional witnesses then?
Be careful what you wish for...
Neither have anything to do with Trump's crimes. They have no bearing on the case whatsoever.
Why is the WH even in on the discussion?
Constitutionally, this is a Congress issue. Full Stop.
MM has no business "coordinating" anything with Trump and the WH on this.
If they do as they did in the Clinton case, the witnesses won't actually testify at the proceeding. They will be deposed.
Constitutionally this if a Senate issue and they determine how the trial will be conducted. They can do whatever they want as long as they vote to do so. Mitch as speaker can coordinate anything he would like.
By the way the Senate coordinated with the wh during Clinton's trial. I'm sure that was different though
They can do 'whatever they like', provided they ignore the oath they've taken.
If they take their Congressional responsibilities and Congressional (and Impeachment) oaths seriously, they cannot "do whatever they like", they need to address those Constitutional responsibilities. That means you cannot run a 'sham trial' w/o violating those oaths AND the Constitution.
Why is it that Magats haven't the slightest ability to understand and relay humor? It seems to be a 1:1 ratio of jackasses who are unfunny but THINK they are to Magats (and their predecessors the "Evangelicals" ie Baptists and "Megachurch" Cults, the white supremacists and white trailer trash who may or may not belong to the first two groups). I can't think of a single ACTUALLY funny Magat cartoonist or comedian. I guess the closest to actually funny would be Tim Allen but since he spent jail time for smuggling cocaine into the US I'm not sure if his Magat appearance is real or fake. But that's it....and frankly he's not that funny.
Trump on Coming Debt Crisis: ‘I Won’t Be Here’ When It Blows Up

Trump said he would erase America's debt in 8 years. It's now bigger than ever.
I liked your comment so hopefully you were referring to OiT’s article and not my response.
In any event, I think the reason most conservatives are so humorless is because they have a hard time separating their attempts to be “funny” from their seemingly incessant need to inflict pain, ridicule or harm to their perceived enemies. It’s a fine line between funny and mean, and most conservative “humor” just comes across as mean.
But we already had a trial in the house that showed overwhelming evidence? Why another trial/fishing expedition?
Oh well, the longer this goes on the more it helps Republicans in the upcoming election.

Because witnesses are bad for POTUS. They have to decide if they want to cover and quite possibly go to jail, or tell the truth and possibly lead to conviction.
